Pastors in Korea are treated a bit differently. Koreans have a very high regard and respect for the office of a pastor and it shows - whether someone is a Christian or not. If anyone ever asks enough questions to figure out Cary is a chaplain, everything changes. Koreans that attend church, not only have a high regard for the office, they really love their pastor. Mira said that by caring for their pastors, the pastors are better able to care for the congregation without any worries of their own.
Let me introduce Mira. There are several Koreans attending our chapel, and Mira is one of them. When she puts her foot down, she means business -- today she put her foot down. 
Mira told the chaplain she wanted to buy her husband a new suit, but her husband could not have a new suit until her pastor had a new suit. The chaplain could either go to the store and pick out a suit, or she would buy one too big and he could get it altered. As you can see from the picture, he picked out a suit.
He knew she meant it, because this is the same woman that tried to repay Cary for something one day. When he would not take the money, she just folded it, laid it on the side of the road, put a rock on top of it, got on the bus and left. LOL She won, because the chaplain was not going to leave it laying there for the next soldier that walked by. (I ended up with it, and the money has been placed in the Changam Diaper Drive Fund.)
